[BangPypers] Python 1.5.2 Application (compiled on PA-RISC)

[Wah Meng Wong]

Hello Noufal,

>>website.  Will be doing that for HP-UX 11.31, Itanium platform.

I am not sure if HP maintains patches for their own platform... as I said I am 
not familiar in this space. Ok I will try looking at the source codes in 
official site. BTW, you mean 2.5.2 is okay right? Your "too far" was referring 
to HP website instead of the versioning of python right? 


I will have to have 2 versions of python running, at least, Windows x86 and 
HP-UX Itanium 64-bit. Also possibly Linux too. 


As for the Windows platform, do you think there is available binary out there 
and I don't have to recompile, or the build will also be as "straight forward" 
as other platforms? 


Regards,
Wah Meng

It should be fairly straightforward. You *might* have to skip some
optional modules (e.g. ctypes) for which the necessary supporting
libraries might not be there on your system but that should be okay.

Sure. I can't guarantee a reply though

Well then, you *can* do it but I don't think you'd get anything out of
it.

Why go for that? Why not use the source from the official site? Does HP
maintain patches for their own platform?
